Secret Yanukovych

96
The unexpected and short-term visit of the President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovich to Moscow - to the Russian leader Vladimir Putin - made a lot of noise. The situation was first stirred up by the Ukrainian media, which initially announced that the head of Ukraine had flown to Moscow, and then some Russian media outlets, having published information about the “shortness” of Yanukovych to the Russian capital. For some time, the question of where Viktor Yanukovych is at the moment was hanging in the air, since he seemed to have flown out of Kiev, but did not appear in Moscow.

The situation was somewhat defused by the head of the Kremlin press service, Dmitry Peskov. He said that Yanukovych last Saturday really met with Vladimir Putin, and at the meeting the heads of state discussed with each other issues of trade and economic cooperation.

Discussion of just such questions at the meeting of the Russian and Ukrainian president in the light of current events looked more than predictable. Recall that in two weeks the EU summit on the so-called Eastern Partnership starts in Vilnius, and it is expected that at this summit the number of countries that have signed an association agreement and entering a free trade zone with the EU will increase at the expense of Ukraine.

We have repeatedly discussed the issues of what will happen to the economies of the Russian Federation and Ukraine after the latter signs the mentioned agreement and goes under the “warm wing” of Brussels. Now it is worth discussing the somewhat strange visit of Viktor Yanukovich to Moscow. This visit is also called strange in Ukraine itself, and not only outright opponents of Viktor Yanukovich, but even his colleagues in the “Party of Regions” are called. Strange - because Viktor Fedorovich, as it turns out, before leaving for a conversation with Vladimir Putin, he did not warn any of the parliamentarians who belong to the Party of Regions faction. And, accordingly, he did not explain to his party members what ideas he was going to discuss in Moscow literally on the eve of the Vilnius summit.

Secret Yanukovych


The fact that Yanukovych went to Moscow without consulting with his supporters in the Ukrainian government, said the deputy from the "Party of Regions" Elena Bondarenko. On the Ukrainian TV channel ICTV, they asked her if she was aware of why the president went to Moscow, and what did the president talk about at the meeting? The legislator replied that she was not aware of the purpose of this visit, and about the awareness of other “regionals” on this issue, she said, quote:

If they knew, probably, someone would have already shared with the media.


At the same time, Elena Bondarenko put forward her own version of why the negotiations between Yanukovich and Putin were conducted in a mode of heightened secrecy. In her opinion, the whole thing is in the latest scandals that have emerged with wiretapping of the talks of the leaders of various states:

In the light of the constantly emerging scandals a la Snowden, a la Assange, I think these are precisely the security measures that the politicians of the two countries are taking to ensure that they are not spied on. Everyone heard about the scandal with Merkel wiretapping, right? Enough is not enough. I think that those politicians who are concerned about the protection of their interests, about the protection of the negotiation process, are forced to do just that.


So, the version of such a misty visit of Yanukovich to Moscow was put forward in the “Party of Regions” - they say, to ensure the secrecy of the negotiation process from the interception of the same CIA, NSA or other similar services.

However, Ukrainians and Russians are not so much worried about why everything is so vague as about what exactly the leaders of the states said to each other at this quick meeting. Building some versions on this issue is, of course, a thankless task, but still ...

It is worth recalling that the meeting between Yanukovich and Putin took place on November 9 (so says Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov), and exactly one day before Ukraine announced that it was refusing to buy Russian gas. Information came from Kiev, which emphasized contracts with RWE (Germany), which in transit through Poland will pump gas to Ukraine. In addition, Russia was reminded that Ukraine had more than six months selling gas through Hungarian territory to European partners and that Ukraine would soon have plenty of gas — from mining to shale gas, which would help Western investors, for example, Shell.

Information about the refusal of the services of "Gazprom" announced on Friday, Yanukovych the next day flies to Moscow. Coincidence? If a coincidence, then unique. Rather, it is not a coincidence, but the alignment of a logical chain. The link of this chain - the visit of the President of Ukraine to Moscow - is presented as one of the latest options for bargaining for Yanukovich. In other words, Yanukovych, as it were, demonstrates to Putin that Ukraine can completely do without Russian expensive gas, and that such independence from Gazprom will only increase over time due to “care” from Western “partners.” Can Russia ignore such a demarche of Ukraine in the present conditions? Theoretically, yes, in practice, it is difficult to do, because losing consumers to “our national wealth” is not from the hand ...

In such a situation, it is quite possible to expect the long-awaited reduction of prices for Russian gas for Ukraine by Yanukovych. A reasonable price for Kiev would be at the level of 270-280 dollars per thousand cubic meters - two times lower than the current price. Ukrainian officials have already spoken about this more than once. Even at the very end of last year, Gazprom itself predicted a decline in prices for Ukraine not to 270 dollars, of course, but to 350-360 - for sure. Large-scale decline, as we understand, did not happen. Now the Ukrainian president could use this as a kind of trump card: they say, we demonstrate that we are completely painlessly moving away from economic dependence on Russia, but Russia's dependence on Ukraine continues to show itself (well, for example, the Russian Black Sea Fleet in Crimea). And if such a trump card was actually presented to Yanukovych, then the pricing policy with regard to Russian gas may change in the direction of reducing the cost of a thousand cubic meters of “blue fuel”.

However, a trump card with possible statements about the painlessness of refusing Ukraine’s close economic contacts with Russia is in fact dubious. This is confirmed by a letter addressed to Viktor Yanukovych by the Federation of the Trade Union of Ukraine and the Union of Ukrainian Industrialists and Entrepreneurs. In this letter (the letter Yanukovych received the other day), the president of Ukraine tried to convey information about the deafening rates of decline in the level of Ukrainian production, which is connected, according to representatives of the FPU and USPP, with the deterioration of relations between Kiev and Moscow.
Industrialists of Ukraine estimated that the decline in production in the engineering industry over the past months of this year amounted to more than 13,5%, and the chemical industry - almost 20%! That is, Ukraine can be abandoned both from Russian gas and from the Russian market, but only how will this affect the economy? ..

So far, to the letter of the FPU and the UUIE, Yanukovych has been deaf, which causes outright bewilderment even among his party members. The “regionals” deputies are also dissatisfied with the fact that Yanukovych is playing some kind of his own game, frankly ignoring the interests of people who at one time gave a vote for Yanukovych in the elections. One of the critics of the President of Ukraine today is even the head of the Party of Regions faction in the Verkhovna Rada, Alexander Efremov. The deputy expresses dissatisfaction with the fact that Yanukovych is putting pressure on the faction, calling for supporting unpopular decisions - decisions on association and an FTA with the EU.

This is what Viktor Yanukovych’s fellow party member states on this matter:

Already problems began in the faction. In the "Party of Regions" there are many industrialists from the east and south. A person comes to the region - his enterprise is closed, jobs are lost, the border is closed. And on the ground, people ask logical questions: what do you accept in parliament? He returns to the faction and says: why should I vote for everything? We have 77% of engineering products supplied to Russia.


We are not such a faction - what they said, we do. We are not Robots. We have all the questions discussed and discussed.


Apparently, this time Viktor Yanukovych does not intend to discuss and discuss his decisions. And the best way to explain your "top-secret" fortels is to announce your desire to protect yourself from overhearing by foreign intelligence agencies ...

In general, it is unlikely that Yanukovych now refuses to join the FTA with the European Union. The only option is more than solid "concessions" from Moscow, which, obviously, Viktor Fedorovich was counting on, going to the next meeting with the Russian president. Only after the gas price has dropped and new, impressive loans with ridiculous interest for Kiev, Yanukovych can press on the European integration brake and redirect to integration with Russia and the CU. But will the “partners” from the West allow him to do this? It seems that those are close to not give. After all, they already see the “meat” coming to them under their own power, and feel its smell ... In such a situation, the president of Ukraine will only have to continue his favorite policy - wag his tail in both directions, looking with one eye “there” and “secretly” winking with the other eye "here".

        The secret becomes apparent after the publication of an unofficial translation of the text of the agreement between Ukraine and the EU, which is supposed to be signed in Vilnius in November.

        And the statements of US Ambassador Jeffrey Payette, who, apparently, believes that the process is no longer reversible and there is no sense in hiding something. The new US ambassador, Jeffrey Payette, even without officially taking office, has already announced his “mission” in Ukraine.

        According to the ambassador, it consists of “forcing, inducing Viktor Yanukovych to enter the door that the European Union opened for our country”.

        The consolidation of the colonial status of Ukraine

        Complete elimination of the industrial potential of Ukraine. The closure of enterprises capable of competing with European producers. The elimination of high-tech industries and the scientific potential of Ukraine under the pretext of switching to European standards in education.

        Destruction of fertile land by growing rapeseed and other crops that deplete the land.

        Demoralization of the population. The destruction of the institution of the family, the introduction of juvenile justice, the promotion of gender equality under the guise of protecting human rights. ”

        There is no need to guess the topic with Ukraine, you just have to wait. Let them sign what they want, it is important that in the end it turns out. Any paper can be torn and discarded.

Unfortunately, simply "tearing it up and throwing it away" does not work; behind each signed paper there is something more significant than the signatures of former presidents.

      laughing Fun!!! Good morning everybody! Undoubtedly, Mr. Volodin's point of view has a right to exist and is not devoid of logic (especially since in the past gas was a trump card in negotiations between Moscow and Kiev more than once), but I personally see a different scenario. The fact is that the actions of Yanukovych are led by the aligarchic Ukrainian elite, who are very worried about "their" property and business and understand that they will not be able to resist Russian business (in the case of closer integration within the Customs Union). So this "business elite" decided to choose the lesser of two evils and go to the EU. Yanukovych, realizing that he would not see the next presidential term under any circumstances (his rating is below 20%) came to secure guarantees of personal security from Putin in exchange for refusing to integrate with Europe.
      Believe me, he is very far from worries about the economic and political state of the country, which he was entrusted with ruling (at least at this stage), he is more concerned with personal selfish interest and unwillingness to answer for the fiasco, which is called the "presidential term of Yanukovych."
      I think that he will be "thrown" with an agreement right at the summit. And Angela Merkel will most likely do it.

          Ukraine refused to sign an association with the EU


          The Ukrainian authorities will not sign an association agreement with the European Union (CA) and an agreement on the creation of a free trade zone (FTA) with the EU in Vilnius, a source who wished to remain anonymous said in an interview with a REGNUM correspondent today, November 13.
          "During the last visit of Prime Minister Mykola Azarov to Donetsk, the Donetsk authorities were informed that the administration of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and European officials are already considering the possibility of postponing the signing of the SA and FTA to 2014 or even later. The initiator of the breakdown was the Ukrainian side, because the European Union did not find mechanisms to compensate for the financial losses of the Ukrainian economy from the possible rupture of trade and economic ties with Russia. Also, European politicians took a tough stance on the release of Yulia Tymoshenko, "the source said.
          According to the source, at present the efforts of regional security officials and officials are aimed at tracking protest actions by opposition political forces, which are expected after the end of the summit in Vilnius. "For example, a clear task has now been set for Donetsk security officials and officials: to begin preparations for possible protest actions by opposition forces: UDAR and VO Batkivshchyna," the source said. However, the situation may change, but this is the case today.

In addition to destabilizing the economic, he seriously scared the destabilization and uncontrollability of the southeast. And, most importantly, the nomination of a pro-Russian candidate, supported by the Kremlin. In addition to Medvedchuk, the names of Shufrich and another current deputy of the PR, which I do not want to name, were called. By the way, the hard worker with Markov and the rotation of the governors are from this series.

        Very similar to the fact that it really is. As for gas from Germany, Gazprom, as far as I know, concludes agreements that do not provide for re-export of gas to third countries. Germany, I think, will not sell gas to Ukraine in the necessary volumes and on an ongoing basis, one-time deliveries are possible, but constantly unlikely.

        Someone on the site said that Putin put up with the departure of Ukraine. Yes, perhaps so, he seems to be Yanukovych not very reconciled with his fate. Jerked like crucian in a pan.

I think that having lost the diplomatic war in Syria, the West (and primarily the United States) will try to win back in Ukraine, realizing the special significance of this region for Russia, not so much economic as ethnocultural. It is in THEIR (USA and others like them) spirit - to separate two people, brotherly in spirit and blood, and (this is a special "chic") set them against each other.
          And then, how was the Russian president recognized as "the most influential politician on Earth" ??? NOT AMERICAN, but Russian ??! We must knock these laurels off him.

            Yes, Russia is in fact on the drum whether Ukraine will sign this agreement or not. The realities are such that if it signs, then Ukraine will then stand firmly in its movement "Into the bright EU" - the economic realities of this movement will not allow, and the possibilities of the GDP by clicking the EU are such that the EU bureaucrats will not risk butting with the GDP, this is nobody until I let it down. So it turns out that it doesn't matter which side of the line called "signing an association with the EU" Ukraine will be located, if no further movement is even expected, note - the EU received more than 17 times through Nord Stream this year. % of gas more than in 2012. hi

      Today is "X-day" for Ukraine. What makes you sick. Either knock at the EU, or complete surrender to Putin. EU-unlikely. The heads of many states realized that as a politician Yanukovych was zero. Just a stupid, pompous turkey with ambition, without honor and conscience, deceitful and mean, cowardly and greedy. For his shyness, the EU does not shine for Ukraine.
      Why did you frequent Putin? It's simple. Just V.V. reminded the hat thief that the KGB archives are intact and there is a lot of "interesting" material on "Chivokun". I am sure that Yanukovych's surrender will take place without any conditions. The behavior of both the coalition and the opposition says one thing. As Kravchuk put it, "We sailed, sailed, and drowned on the shore." You can forget about the EU, we are outcasts. Russia will accept only on terms of complete surrender. Only federalization will save Ukraine. In Russian, disintegration into several appanage principalities. There is no other way. The West does not want to join the Customs Union. The east hangs between the CU and the EU.

Main jobs, salesman and builder. The position of Russia and Kazakhstan is no better. The same problems (the center does not count). Therefore, young people want to get away from this mess and injustice. For them, this is Europe.
          The oligarchs in Europe do nothing. Their business does not channel there. And Families, children have been studying in Europe for a long time, booming on their own real estate. Daddy's airplane is in constant readiness and at the first rustle of a gambel, it will wash off to its capitals.
          The latest poll showed that over 60% of the population is behind the EU, even in the east. Youth - more than 70%. Political scientists, analyze why and what to do? The only thing that the people understand is that nothing depends on them. This is how the power vertical and the opposition, far from the people, were built (the same crooks, but far from the trough). As the classics of revolutions say, an opposition without a people is just "zilch". The people understand that in this nativity scene, the coalition-opposition, they only need to push some and push others, who will immediately forget about them and transfer them to the category of "kazlov" and "biomass" type. But one thing is clear. The Ukrainian land will not become scarce from Mazepa.

    The author is absolutely right, noting that big business has already begun to resent the state of affairs. I will add only more specifics
    “In connection with the suspension by the Russian Federation of certificates for the supply of transport engineering products, such enterprises as Azovmash, Stakhanov Car-Building Plant, Dneprovagonmash, Kryukov Car-Building Plant are stopping. Similar problems arose in the confectionery industry. Due to the negative external environment, the chemical industry enterprises stopped. A very serious situation in connection with the lack of sales markets has developed in the sectors of the aircraft and automotive industries. In general, the decline in production in engineering in January-September of this year amounted to 13,6%, in the chemical industry - 19,6%. In the group of non-food products in the domestic market of Ukraine, the share of imported products is 57-60%, ”Kinakh’s letter to the President says.

    Those. The EU does not mind if Ukraine joins the CU. The question is, is there a need for such a "miracle" in the vehicle through which Europe will stretch its grabbing brines.
    And finally, very correctly noticed
    People’s deputy Nikolai Tomenko drew attention to the fact that recently the line of information messages from the authorities has changed radically: the President is for the European choice, and the Party of Regions is against it.

    Those. Yanukovych is “FOR”, he is “white and fluffy” in front of Europe, however, you see, we have democracy, and the deputies are against it!
    And finally, the hysterical cries of the opposition cannot help but make laugh
    The leader of the Batkivshchyna faction, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, appealed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for clarification regarding the alleged next visit of President Viktor Yanukovych to Russia. The politician announced this on Monday. "I have just turned to the Foreign Ministry with a demand to inform that the head of the Ukrainian state is already doing the second time in Russia. If we are talking about secret negotiations with the President of another state, then this is a direct basis for the impeachment of such a President, because then we are talking about high treason." , - he said.

Well, they won't start fighting with us, will they?

    I stumbled:
    “Kazankovsky settlement head N. Palanich and advise, did not come up with anything better than how to use memorial plates on which the names of the dead soldiers were embossed for the construction of ... paving paths”


    In the urban-type settlement Kazanka in the Nikolaev region, memorial slabs were used on which the names of the dead soldiers were knocked out for the construction of ... a sidewalk.
    Kazankivtsi argue that this path in the wasteland appeared only because Natalya Palanich was so shorter to go home from work through the dry river Visun.
    “This year, residents of the territorial community raised money to reconstruct the memorial complex for soldiers who were liberated and fellow countrymen who died during the Great Patriotic War and located on Peace Street in the center of Kazanka. The memorial slabs removed during the repair work in the council of the council also decided to use it in such a barbaric way, laying the paving path out of them. There was no limit to the indignation of the Kazan citizens, who, lifting one of the plates, saw the names of their relatives who died during the war. After all, it was not just the plates that were trampled into the mud, the sacred memory of the heroes who died during the war was trampled into the mud. Such sacrilege caused a wide resonance. Law enforcement authorities were forced to intervene in the situation, ”the residents of Kazanka said.
    “Regionalka” Natalya Palanich has already got into scandalous chronicles - in the spring of this year she was found guilty of an administrative corruption offense, but for some reason she remained in a leading position. or membership in the Party of Regions?

      This is what!
      Yury Karmazin, a former MP (for some reason not considering himself a former), wrote a bill according to which phrases and calls “For the Motherland!” should be urgently cut out of all Soviet films about the Great Patriotic War. He was inspired by this act ... "rotting propaganda of the party" Homeland ", and the films, as they say," went by steam engine. "
      The strength and depth of insanity is very reminiscent of the 2008 year, when the ex-Minister of Culture and Tourism Vasily Vovkun ordered the removal of Soviet literature "as communist and chauvinistic." And he appointed the most communist writer ... for some reason Bulgakov. Despite the fact that the latter made fun of both white and red alike, however, in particular, for which he suffered from the “orange”! “Damn Ukrainization.” In other words, he was telling the truth: “Your hetman breaks the damn comedy with Ukrainization,” that is what Bulgakov wrote in Turbine Days. For this they began to seize him - just like books were taken from libraries in the times that the master narrated. “In Russia, gentlemen, there are two forces,” said Alexei Turbin, “these are the Bolsheviks and we ... And when we meet, or we bury them, or they us.” “In Russia we are,” said the white officer, mind you, a Kiev resident. But he said “in Russia” and not “in Ukraine”, which from the standpoint of today's professional patriots seems almost a crime
      By the way, how does Karmazin suggest editing films and how to do it technically? He said this in a commentary to the “Third Digital” channel: “... All calls“ For the Motherland! ”Will be“ crammed ”or cut out of films. "Because, - attention! - To promote such propaganda is akin to selling drugs or child pornography. Images of the poster “Motherland is calling” will also be removed from history textbooks, the former people's deputy dreams. He even made an estimate: "about 10 million hryvnias." He doesn’t even feel sorry for the money (however, it’s all the same ours, budget).

All the fuss with Europe is just an opportunity to beg for a loan and a gas price. EVERYONE understands that Europe is not able to invest money in the Ukrainian economy; they need a sales market. And besides, after Yanukovych’s failure in the 2015 elections, he will have a place to hide with his family’s capital - the Russians don’t make their own, unlike in Europe. And with Yulia the west is rushing just because this valuable agent has not yet worked out his own, well, at least to put Yanyk and his close ones, well, of course from personal revenge.

      The battle is not needed. Ukraine itself must make a choice without any pressure. The main thing is that the leaders in Ukraine are adequate and understand that they are facing a historical choice for decades. And of course, disperse with Russia at this intersection with the historical, spiritual, economic, military-political, etc. points of view is completely absurd. Russia, unlike the EU, will never leave Ukraine in trouble - I think this is understandable. Russia and Ukraine are two trees with one root.

    Sometimes you wonder how the leaders of the countries that hatched from the USSR calculate their policy ...
    Even to me, a “kitchen” politician and analyst, it is quite obvious that with Ukraine's departure to the EU, its industry will collapse in a short time (and who needs it in the EU?). Well, for Russia there will be some difficulties (I repeat - SOME, BUT NOT GLOBAL) ...
    And here is the question: for kera and to whom is it necessary, besides the USA and a shattered Europe? After all, there would be a normal union of two states - the Russian Federation and Ukraine, and together we could solve many problems and confront another, hostile to us (yes, I mean US - this is Russia and Ukraine) world. The ties in the economy and industry are enormous (aviation, shipbuilding, rocket science and much more), but also UNITED possibilities are huge. And it is strange to me that the same Yanukovych does not see this ... Or is he not allowed to see?
    But Russia does not need to speculate and blackmail. Over a centuries-old history, it has been tried more than once to substitute-toss-to-deceive-to cheat and even to win - well, nothing has worked out for anyone.
    Well, it’s necessary to get along somewhere, to reconsider something, well, to take radical and unpopular measures, provoking a boom of indignation (including from us) —but Russia SAMA will solve its problems.
    But Ukraine is unlikely ... The wrong level and the wrong resources. In addition, it does not have that political international weight as Russia does. So the alliance between us is a more profitable way for us - both countries, than the final break. And Ukraine’s entry into the EU means this gap ...

      Deputy: Putin convinced Yanukovych and Sargsyan to go to the vehicle with the help of the KGB dossier
      KIEV, November 13. Ukrainian President Viktor Yankovych came under pressure from his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. This was stated by the deputy from the Ukrainian party "Batkivshchyna" Alexander Briginets.


      “During the last negotiations, Russian President Vladimir Putin sat down at the table, smiled, took out a daddy from the KGB archives from under the table and said to Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych:“ Well, Viktor Fedorovich, will you go to Europe and all of Ukraine will read this daddy? Or Will Ukraine be with the Customs Union? " And a miracle happened - Yanukovych and his party suspended European integration, "he said in an interview with IA REGNUM.

      According to the politician, a similar situation happened with the President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan, which suddenly abandoned the European integration vector in favor of integration into the Customs Union. "Why did Yanukovych abruptly change his position after meeting with Putin? A few months ago, a similar story happened with the President of Armenia, when he met with Putin and changed his position," Briginets said.

      Earlier, the speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Volodymyr Rybak, closed the extraordinary meeting, saying that the three "European integration" issues that were submitted for consideration were not ready. The adoption of all three laws was a tough condition for Brussels to sign the association at the Vilnius summit.

    It would probably be very stupid and naive to hope that after the signing of the association with the EU in Ukraine, something will change for the better. Azarov says a fantastic amount is needed to amortize 160 billion euros. He hopes that the EU will get this money for us somewhere. Weakly believe in it. But there is no doubt that the Ukrainian people will pay for everything in full. The Bolsheviks alone oppose this destructive decision. They are the only ones to maintain common sense and this cannot but cause respect. The remaining political forces deliberately push Ukraine to the socio-economic abyss.

    You in Russia absolutely do not understand how things really are in our Ukraine. I watch your news daily and there is such nonsense about Ukraine. Although it is clear that this is being done in order to create a certain opinion among the Russians, Putin is advantageous. If you think that I am opposed to Putin, then this is not so. I fully support him on politics in Syria and on the Americans and I think that you will not find a better president in the next 5-10 years. But in relation to Ukraine, he acts like a seasoned imperialist. Well, your Vekselberg came to us in Zaporozhye at the aluminum plant (bought) and closed it, because He has his own production in Russia. That is, Russia does not need an economically strong Ukraine, because then she will be more independent. The association will allow us (backgammon) to quickly throw off the hated criminal freak Yanyk, and Putin can help him stay in power for another five years (to his advantage) and we will have a complete ..ope here. Already - there is no work, gold and foreign exchange reserves are running out, I think that in a year and pensions will cease to pay. We did not have such freak thieves as the Party of Regions.
